With his career as a starting pitcher faltering in 2013, Zach Duke decided to embrace being a reliever after some blunt words from his wife Kristin, the newly-signed Twin tells Mike Berardino of the St. Paul Pioneer Press. “She kind of had to beat it through my head that I was done as a starter,” Duke said. “My wife just kind of said, ‘Listen, nobody is interested in you as a starter anymore. They’ve seen it, babe. There’s nothing changing. They know what they’re going to get as a starter, and nobody wants it anymore.’ ” Kristin’s advice ended up turning her husband’s career around, particularly after a late-season run of success out of the Reds’ bullpen in 2013. Over the last four seasons, Duke has a 2.85 ERA, 2.62 K/BB rate and a 10.0 K/9 over 198 2/3 relief innings.

I don't know if Russo fucked his own wife; that guy has closet case written all over him.

I never used to get that vibe from him at all when I listened to him on satellite radio, but after watching him on TV I think that all the time. His hand movements are so frequent and awkward that it's painful to watch.

"You want to sit next to Donaldson on the airplane. Sit next to him on the bench. Just rub him off, cause he is smoking hot right now."

Why so butthurt? Its just different.
Also, KATOH is gone because a MLB team wanted to own it. Yeah, such dogshit! Just stick to your generic lists that are all the same so you can nitpick when one is slightly different than the others. Nothing says free thinker like mindlessly abiding with the consensus of an unscientific method that is mostly bullshit.
